Last night I got time to go out for about an hour. I went to an old place where and very old detectorist had told me about. He had found some barbra dimes and indians there the month before, and encouraged me to go dig the deepies as he was getting too old for that. I didn't find anything that old on my short hunt, but I did find this nice silver ring, my second silver ring ever!! yeah!! I am sure this place has to have silver coins looking at the dates of the coins I did find. I need to work harder with this SE pro getting it down better. anyway, not to special compared to all of you guys with amazing finds, :thumbsup: but a super good day for me! ;D

Nice finds!

I was looking at your ring. It's rather odd to find a silver ring marked .825. Normally silver rings are marked .925 or Sterling. I knoe the Eurpoean system for marking gold rings is set out in decimal form, .417 for 10K, etc. But I see .825 in your close-up as well.

I did a little research and I found several references to silver rings marked .825 so I guess they are out there. Unique find, great job!
 

Sweet, my ring is more unique!!!! thanks for the info I did not know this!!

Nice finds.

Monday I was digging a lot of pennies dated 1959-64 and thought maybe a silver will come up, and sure enough a 64' rosie was to be found. Keep hitting it you'll find it. The next day after getting advice from an
old timer, same park different place, I found a 44' merc, found 2 wheats just before the merc.

Good luck,
HH.
 

Nice finds especially the ring. I like the way you've presented the pics too. Good job :thumbsup:

Thanks, there are actually two spots I have been going to which are giving me the 4-6 inches coins in the 60's , I need to get below the 6 inch depth and get down further!!! I know silver is at my both spots for sure!!
